Product Details
This Whiteline Front Control Arm Lower Inner Front Bushing fits the 2013 Subaru WRX STI Special Edition. Trim named on the listing: Special Edition. The kit contains 4 bushings and 2 tubes. Placement: front. Part number W0506. It is listed for the GR/GV chassis.
A control arm bushing is the pivot where the arm joins the chassis or the wheel carrier. Factory rubber is chosen for quiet and comfort, so it squashes under braking, acceleration, and cornering and lets the arm move more than it should. A firmer replacement keeps the arm where it belongs, which steadies the alignment and gives the car a more consistent feel. The polyurethane used here deflects much less than the original rubber under the same load.
Installation is rated difficult, with about 2.5 hours of work listed. Get the car aligned once it is back on the ground. Other Whiteline parts we list for the WRX STI: Adjustable Rear Sway Bar Link, 14mm Adjustable Front Camber Bolts, and Rear Subframe Mount Bushing.

- Bushing compound: Oil, grease, ozone, and weather do not break down the synthetic elastomer used in the bushings.
- Grease: Molybdenum disulfide grease is included to help the parts last.
- Material: Polyurethane construction.
- Corrosion protection: A protective plating covers the metal components to guard against corrosion.
- Self-lubricating: Grease reservoirs inside the bushing feed lubrication as it moves.
